Hey guys,

So I took my NASM exam this morning and I passed! Finally a certified personal trainer. It really wasn't that bad although a few questions were worded different. I just wish they gave...

I am pretty much right around your same range for NASM and Upward Mobility and I take my exam on Tuesday morning. I'd say the NASM practice is probably more comparable to the real test so you're...

Hey guys,

I'm a fairly new trainer and I just wanted to get your opinions. How much do you guys wait for equipment to open up vs working around it and using different exercises. For instance, if...

Hey guys,

I'm taking my exam in a week from today. I took my first practice exam (off the on-line course) just now and scored a 89%. Fortunately I still have a week to brush up on weaker areas,...

Really starting to like this now. Closed my first sale of PT yesterday and my first floor pick-up of a very interested prospective client. Plus I found a couple more prospective clients out on the...

The first day was kind of lame, but understandably so with training, paperwork and what not. Had my first client yesterday and she was a very nice lady who seems very motivated herself so it...

Thank you, looking forward to it.

The Xperience in Hales Corners. Glad to see other people from the Milwaukee area here, it's a great city. Good luck at Anytime.

Hey guys,

About a month ago I posted a thread about my desire to be a PT. Long story short, I wanted to be a PT back in high school, but I chose to listen to the wrong people when I was a...

Thanks guys. Appreciate this input.

Hey everyone,

I posted a thread a few weeks ago about my plans to switch careers from accountant to a personal trainer. I'm roughly abut 40% through NASM's materials and plan on taking the...

Thanks Eli, I do see where you're coming from. I actually did get up at 4:30 to go workout for a while when I was working in Chicago but excess travel and hours made it too hard to keep up. Anyway...

On a separate note I'm planning to order my review materials tomorrow or Wednesday. But after a simple search for "ACE" and "NASM" in this forum I'm questioning which way to go. Seems like they're...

Absolutely true. At least you own a business that you're passionate about and really care about as opposed to doing it just for the money.

Kyle - Thank you for your input again and good points. I...

Thank you schmedes. I have thought about a serving job since I have been a server before, though I figured I'd first try with health clubs (hence contacting my friend's dad CEO of a few YMCAs). It...

Well, I'm far from a fat **** who doesn't train himself, as I said before, I still managed to stay active enough to stay in good shape and healthy, I just had to figure out where my priorities in...

Ok maybe I said it wrong when I said that I've kind of fallen out of the habit of working out. I've still found a way to stay fit and eat well, I've just backed off from full-on bodybuilding type...

Thank you for your input Kyle. You're exactly right about the work hours and I have considered this. Still a step up from working 70-80 hours a week in public accounting sitting behind a desk. ...

Hello,

I have just decided to switch my career to being a personal trainer/wellness & fitness coach and I was just hoping that I could get some input from some experienced trainers. First a...

I've had periods of time when I'd go out up to 2-3 nights a week and still made gains. As long as being hungover doesn't cause you to miss workouts, it won't make THAT BIG a difference while...
